Something lurking in the dark

I don't know what it is
Nor do I really want to
But there's something here
Lingering in my house besides my dad, my dog, and me too

I heard it growl
I don't know where from
I knew about mice
But this is new

I both feel fear and curiosity
I want to know
But I'm afraid of what it is
Yet I don't know

Part of me wants to ask
Part of me know the time
There a piece of me that won't expect help
Because of my pride

I here it lapping it's lips
Like a dog but mine is sleeping with my father
The sounds is from a totally different direction.
I'm going to get up...

I'm going to see what it is.
Best of luck...
